For a moment, Hae Joo regretted her words.

She belatedly remembered the story Lee Jun had told when President Park visited their home.

“He was just a customer.”

“What did he order?”

“Earl Grey mil…”

“Earl Grey milk tea.”

Do Jun echoed her words as if stating the correct answer.

The table fell silent momentarily until a staff member cleared it.

Desserts were brought, and the glass overlooking the sea was now speckled with rain.

“No wonder my brother always bought that drink.”

“He must have liked it.”

“No, it was my father’s favorite drink.”

“……!”

“My brother bought it every day for my father. I thought he was more filial than me.”

Hae Joo could only offer an awkward smile.

“I feel strange.”

Do Jun repeatedly drank water.

He didn’t touch the dessert.

“Sometimes I wonder if it’s better that my brother is no longer in this world.”

“How can you say that?”

“Hae Joo.”

“Yes?”

“It makes me want you more.”

“…….!”

“You.”

Do Jun’s gaze was deep and fiery. The moonlight reflected in his eyes as he faced Hae Joo.

To the straightforward Do Jun, patience was as restless as the sea beyond the glass.

He had already surrendered to the fervor that consumed him with youthful vigor.

Hae Joo’s gaze wandered, becoming the object of his temptation.

Not wanting to let go of Do Jun, who had come all the way here for her, she shyly stood up.

“Shall we go?”

Their lengthy dinner was over.

Receiving Hae Joo’s consent, Do Jun called Director Song.

“The meal is over, please settle the bill.”

As Do Jun stood up, Hae Joo also gathered her things.

In the awkward atmosphere, Do Jun’s large hand clasped hers.

“Let’s go.”

“Where?”

“To rest.”

A staff member opened the door for them.

They took the elevator up to the hotel’s main lobby.

People passing by made Hae Joo avert her eyes, but Do Jun, unbothered, approached the desk.

“I have a reservation under Park Do Jun.”

Do Jun received the card key from the staff and returned to Hae Joo. After observing the lobby’s tiered structure, they went up the elevator.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Just this and that…”

“If you feel uncomfortable now, say it.”

“I’m not uncomfortable.”

The two got off at the top floor and walked down the carpeted corridor.

The distance between rooms widened, and soon Do Jun stopped.

He swiped the card key and stepped aside as the door opened.

Hae Joo entered first.

Unlike her home, the large bed was the focal point here.

“Look at me.”

Do Jun gently wrapped his arms around Hae Joo’s waist as she was distracted by the scenery.

The walk to the bed felt as long as the past three years.

Unable to hold back, he slowly lowered his face and pressed his forehead against hers.

“It’s our first night.”

Tonight was both their first night together and Hae Joo’s first experience.

Until now, they had only shared one kiss and slept together on the night before his business trip.

Do Jun seemed to be restraining himself well.

What Hae Joo had thought in the same bed last time was this: ‘I’m an adult too.’

Do Jun had called this change ‘dating.’

Her mind racing, her body seemed eager to follow.
Here is the English translation of the passage you provided:

Hae Joo didn’t know what to do first. She decided to follow Do Jun’s lead, and soon his warm lips covered hers. The softness was sweeter than the ice cream that had been served as dessert.

“What if I go crazy before we even start?”

“If we’re going to go crazy, let’s do it properly.”

Hae Joo felt dizzy with unfamiliar sensations.

Suddenly swept up in an unknown strength, her body was lifted.

A strong tremor traveled up from her toes.

By the time she regained her senses, she was already laid on the bed.

“Haa!”

A startled gasp exploded from Hae Joo’s chest. Looking up, she saw Do Jun pulling off his necktie and tossing it to the floor.

He was like a beast on all fours.

Kneeling, he carelessly unbuttoned his shirt.

His panting breaths were intense.

Yet, he seemed to be trying not to scare Hae Joo.

“Are you okay, Do Jun?”

“Don’t be shocked later.”

Their lips met again, inextricably intertwined.

Do Jun deeply inhaled Hae Joo’s breath as his own, ensuring they would never part, as he continuously pushed aside their fluttering clothes.

Hae Joo felt like she was losing her soul. Do Jun’s daring and rough caresses were like a bold temptation.

Tears formed in her eyes without her realizing.

Her self-esteem, still lingering in her girlish days, was being exposed to the world by him.

“It feels strange like this.”

“Feel it. This is me.”

While seemingly taking her breath away, Do Jun kept giving his own breath to her, like performing CPR on a dying soul.

Eventually… he deeply inhaled Hae Joo’s profound scent.

Everything was a first for both of them.

Jin Han left the accommodation first.

He moved quietly so that the other agency members wouldn’t notice.

“Should I have given Hae Joo a ride?”

When he left, Hae Joo’s room light was still on. He debated waiting for her but decided to head straight to H Hotel.
